Revision idea: Have students bring their digital stories up on the computers in the lab/class. Do a gallery walk, having them view each other's stories and give feedback with post-it notes on the computers.
Troy's suggestion: Students can put their draft of a digital story on voice thread. Their peers can post feedback there. http://voicethread.com/
Have the Summer Institute TCs create digital stories as part of their experience. They will want to take it back to the classroom!
Have students start small: a 60 second video, or use just 5 pictures, or read a poem and add the visual elements. See examples at www.poetryfoundation.org
Have students create the worst story or presentation ever. They have fun and it gives them all a sense of what not to do.
Troy: on Viddler, you can add annotations exactly where you want them on the story to give feedback. http://www.viddler.com/
What is your Writing Project site doing with digital storytelling?
You could do daily logs and include digital stories to capture that.
UPWP held a Family Literacy Night at a local elementary school -- have stations set up where students can make a 5-screen digital story with Where I'm From poems. Their families can have a DVD to take home.
Amber: Get out and take a risk. You're not going to break anything. Don't be afraid to play!
